Commission IV
The work of ISPRS Technical Commission IV is devoted to geospatial databases and location
based services. For the XXIII ISPRS CONGRESS 2016, Technical Commission IV received
30 full paper submissions and 183 abstract submissions. 19 of these submissions accepted as
peer-reviewed contributions for publication in the ISPRS Annals, and 122 were accepted for
publication in the ISPRS Archives.
These papers are dedicated mostly to topics of the 8 TC IV working groups and 2 intercommission working groups, including methods for update and verification of geospatial
databases, global status of mapping and geospatial database updating, global DEM
interoperability, Web and cloud based geospatial services and applications, sensor web and
internet of things, 3D indoor modelling and navigation, planetary mapping and spatial
databases, computing optimization for spatial databases and location based services, and global
land cover mapping and services. I believe these papers nicely summarise the state of the art
and current trends in the field of Technical Commission IV. The papers and abstracts were
evaluated by the experts in the field and Working Group Chairs according to content,
significance, originality, relevance and clearness of presentation.
I would like to thank the authors for their contributions, the reviewers for their reviewing, the
working group officers for their efforts on calling for papers, and the organizers of the Congress
for publishing this volume.
